C

A company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.

Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.

A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted

stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.

Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.

For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future. 8. What does the underlined word knitted in the third paragraph mean? A. attached C. fixed

B. combined D. repaired

9. Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes? A. The design and color.

C. The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow. 10. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste. B. To describe the process of making shoes. C. To advertise a new kind of shoes.

D. To stress the importance of environmental protection. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 【解析】 【分析】

这是一篇新闻报道类应用文。主要介绍了一家叫做Rothy’s 的公司如何将塑料废品转化为环保型鞋子，并将其在网上销售。鞋子在得到了女演员Gwyneth Paltrow 的认可之后，其销量

B. The reasonable price. D. The company’s advertisement.

增加，同时有望在全球范围销售。 【8题详解】

词义猜测题。根据文章第三段第四句至第六句They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together.可知他们将塑料清洗，然后把它分解成小块，过一个制造软纤维的装置挤压它们，然后这些纤维结合在一起。The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底).此句中的stuff 与前文的纤维（fibers）所指相同，因此，knitted 应与前文中的“combined”表达含义相同。故选B项。 【9题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段第五句After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew.可知，去年，美国女演员格温妮丝·帕特洛(Gwyneth Paltrow)发现了这种鞋后，对这种鞋的需求增加了，可以判定这种鞋的销售量的增加有美国女演员格温妮丝·帕特洛(Gwyneth Paltrow)名人效应的影响。故选C项。 【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段A company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.文章主要内容涉及该公司将塑料瓶转化为女鞋，及各段首句可知文章主要目的在于介绍一种新型回收塑料瓶的方式—做成环保型鞋子。故选A项。

【点睛】细节理解题，是指原文提到了某事物、现象或理论，题干针对原文具体叙述进行发问。常见的设题形式有直接理解题(在原文中可直接找到答案，常用who, what, when, where, why, which和how等提问)、语义转化题(需要将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语义上的转换，两者存在表达上的差异，有时需要进行加工或整理后方能得出结论)、数字计算题和事件排序题等。

抓住文章中事实和细节是做好该类题的关键。解题原则是忠实于原文及全篇的逻辑关系，决不能主观臆断。此类题我们可以采用照题查阅法快速找出原文信息，然后仔细比对选项，从而选出正确答案。

比如文章第2题属于直接理解题：

2. Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes? A. The design and color. B. The reasonable price.

C. The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow. D. The company’s advertisement. 照题查阅法题干中的同义语句表达在文章第四段第五句After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew.的后半句，则前半句为答案所在。对比选项得出C 项正确。

D

Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.

Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.

The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.

Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a \attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.

The pressures of \encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. \a few birds,\
